I don't understand why some people use 3rd party chargers when RPF/RPT (always get them mixed up) provide reasonably cheap power supplies which do as it says on the tin and are supported. I've, hold on... 6 Pi's running here (2 0w's 2 3B+'s & 2 4B4's) all using official PSU's and the only time I've...

I ordered one of these cables myself from Digi-Key on August 22 and finally got it today September 9. It took this long because it was a special order item. My requirements were female connectors on both ends and a length of 8 inches instead of 6 inches Samtec # IDSD-20-D-08-00 Digi-Key #: IDSD-20-D...

https://prnt.sc/p2oil8 I was change power supply and SD card, no any result. That PSU (being generous and assuming it's not intended to be a charger) is rated for 2.5A. Get the RPF 3A PSU. This power supply is sold for the Raspberry Pi. It should work fine as long as you use it as was intended. Vil...

Has anyone tried one of the PiHut cases for the Pi4? Do they allow the Pi4 to run any cooler? Note the first one listed below is new. Raspberry Pi 4 Case (With Cooling Fan) (NEW) https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-case-with-cooling-fan?ref=isp_rel_prd&isp_ref_pos=3 Dual Fan Heatsink Case f...

Still surprised that LibreElec isn't working. The LE team spent some time before launch getting it going. It is working for me now :-) , It was my mistake having my microSD card not formated to fat32 I am having the same problem, libreelec wont boot. I use the image from their website, not noobs. I...

I've run into this same issue. I know a fresh install is best practice, but I would really like to preserve that data and transfer the SD card to an RP4. Is this possible? What data do you want to keep? What things do want to carry over that can't be simply added back later? I booted the Pi with an...

Turns out the RPi 4 was unable to talk to my old monitor. Maybe not enough resolution? Anyway, works fine with a new high-res monitor. Would’ve been helpful if the specs of the 4 included this limitation. If you still want to use the old monitor then with the new monitor connected: Change the resol...

I recently booted into my Pi4B and saw an icon in the panel - an empty red battery outline. After a momentary panic I realised it had to be an error so I just removed the indicator from the panel. I'm not sure how this came about as I haven't messed with the panel, but I assume it happened after a ...

The desktop (offline) version of Scratch 3 can be extended by using extensions. To see what extensions are available: • Make sure Code tab is selected • Select button on the bottom left of Scratch window • Select extension to load • The new code blocks will be added at the bottom of the existing cod...

I want to thank all those involved in getting Scratch 3 Offline released for the Raspberry Pi last Friday August 16th. Scratch 3 Desktop for Raspbian on Raspberry Pi https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/scratch-3-desktop-for-raspbian-on-raspberry-pi/ According to the blog article Scratch 3 Offline only ...

Just to repeat was was posted in another thread... The Desktop version of Scratch 3 for the Raspbian Pi is finally here!!! It was released on August 16th. Scratch 3 Desktop for Raspbian on Raspberry Pi https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/scratch-3-desktop-for-raspbian-on-raspberry-pi/ While you can run...

They just released the Raspberry Pi 4 today. You can get it with 1, 2, or 4 GB of RAM. :D I hope they will be able to release Scratch 3 Desktop for the Raspberry Pi now that the new Raspberry Pi is a lot more capable. I just ordered the Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB of RAM. Unfortunately the 4GB version ...

Why did they decide to do this? its severely debilitating. People coming from windows will not understand having to adjust the size of their swap file. Why do you want to use a swap file? Using it will cause excessive writes to the SD Card. Since reads & writes to the SD Card is much slower than RA...

Hi. Is there a way that I can make my Pi 4 tell me the temp in f instead of c? While that would be nice, we should be grateful that it isn't given in Kelvin or Rankine. It would make no difference in complexity. It is only simple math. T°F = (T°C * 1.8) + 32.0 T°F = (TºR - 491.67) + 32.0 T°F = (T°K...

I'd say it was a regular case. Just a very well designed one. Looking at the one I have here, the LCD cable and camera cables have exits, and there is an available slot to get a GPIO ribbon cable out should you so wish. Indeed, there is a slot provided for a GPIO ribbon cable, but do you know of a ...

Hmm... I only got 84.66 on my 4B4 ... :? That's on my desk down the hall from the router, with several other computers all using wireless (including a 4B2 and a 3B+). However, my Chromebook on the same desk scored 477.84, and my budget gaming laptop (Win10) scored 692.3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @ MisterEd, Have ...

I have not tried without the case but with the crap thermal pad supplied with the case it was 49-51°C idle and 78-80 with cpuburna53. After replacing it's now 46-47 idle and max 68 under load. I would probably see the same 51-55°C without anything and throttling under heavier load. I know the groun...

So, no way to turn this boy on, apart from pulling the plug? We have come a long way. CanaKit sells the PiSwitch to insert between the power supply cable and the Pi. One version has Micro-USB connections for previous models and a Pi4 only model with USB-C connections. There are other sellers that s...

i wonder if the 4gb reason will ever be 35 :-) Not for a very long time. RAM chips in general are still very expensive. The 4GB part used in a RPi 4 is a Micron MT53D1024M32D4DT-053 and you can see the prices for it online. They probably have a much better price worked out with Micron due to the hi...

I second using Thonny. It provides a graphical interface with a split screen. The top window shows the code. You able to edit the code there also. The bottom window shows the output when the code is run. I found it helpful to buy a kit that included: * 40-Pin GPIO Cable * T-Extension Board * Breadbo...

Nice result on the GPU memory increase. On my Pi4B1 I have a 1000MB swap file, Chromium seems to run better. What if you use some of that 4GB as swap, would that improve things? USB 3 swap? Home much RAM do you have 1GB, 2GB or 4GB? If only you have only 1GB I would change the gpu_mem back to 64. 5...
